After
thirty two years at the coal face of Palm our co-founder Bob Slee is hanging up
his tool belt.. but probably not putting his feet up.

Bob helped Andy start Palm; building their first kayaks together. After ten years on the high-seas working as a pilot in the Merchant Navy, Bob arrived back at Palm wearing seafaring white socks and bringing a ‘Shipshape & Bristol Fashion’ attitude.

Bob brought the ethos of can make; will make; make it better as our
technical director. Never more happy than in his overalls with an angle grinder
in hand, he is responsible for us having a purpose-built factory, with its own
roto-moulding oven – all built by Bob.

Always
a champion of paddlesport’s place in the world, Bob’s strong Bristol accent has
echoed in the ear of Westminster MPs as chair of the Association of Canoe
Trades and more recently as a founder Marlins Canoe Club in Palm’s hometown.

Having no intention
of stopping, Bob has prepared for this moment by constructing the World’s most
over-specced Man Cave, where he can enjoy his woodturning. He’s made camp on
the North Devon coast where he takes his sea kayak out catching fish and
through careful breeding has crafted a small army of grandchildren who dote
after Grandad.

Bob will be well
and truly missed at Palm and through the paddling trade. So please join us in
wishing him all the very very best and saying thank you.
